Marketing Aug 26, 2025View in app Who’da thunk it? Writing isn’t all writers have to do. Yeah, editing is included in the writing and I kinda like editing. It’s like taking a painting or clay sculpture and adding details that make it, in the words of my artist daughter, POP. The part few, if any,Continue reading “Marketing”

Publishing Dragon Dreams
Decisions, decisions, decisions Gonna publish Dragon Dreams. I’ve found a small press publisher and we are in prep mode. Both for getting the manuscript ready and spreading the word. I’m excited. And I feel a bit like I’ve been thrown into a lake and I’m not that good at swimming. Which is why I’m goingContinue reading “Publishing Dragon Dreams”
Elevator Pitch
Anyone trying to sell something, be it a physical product like a toaster, themselves in a job interview or a book, has learned what an elevator pitch is. It’s a one or two sentence, thirty second, foot in the door sales technique. Get the potential buyer interested enough to say “Tell me more.”
Introductions are in Order…
Marketing Dragon Dreams
Gonna dive into the self publishing world once again. I’ve learned a bit since my first two books, Eternal Diet and its sequel You Are What You Eat, sank into the pit of Amazon anonymity. I’ve started a series of posts with art related to each character in the book to introduce them to potentialContinue reading “Marketing Dragon Dreams”

That’s why IContinue reading “Kauai Writers Conference”

Can’t wait; wine, cheese, goodies and hopefully interested bookies. No, not THAT kind of bookie! Currently, I have severalContinue reading “Technology is not my forte”
My Writing Journey Continues
I just received a request for three chapters of a book I submitted to a pitch event. After my heart stopped racing and I could think straight, I gathered the materials requested and, with a kiss of good luck, sent them on their way. Wish me luck. The book in question is a middle gradeContinue reading “My Writing Journey Continues”
PitchWars Mentorship
Well, I did it. Swallowed my fear and submitted Dragon Dreams to their mentorship. It was hard narrowing down the potential mentors and it took me a few days of review, interview and podcast watching, but I picked the four I think will click best with me and the book. I’ve had this out toContinue reading “PitchWars Mentorship”
